Scouting Analysis:

May have the highest upside of any player in this signing class. Has a true feel for getting into the backfield and when you watch No. 56 fly around, he reminds you a lot of Darius Stills. Sheds blocks well and is a vicious tackler.

Playing Time Projection:

Should certainly see a fair amount of playing time in 2020. Will be a force on the defense as early as 2021.
